A.
Use technology to plot the graph.
Here it is using wolframalpha.com.

B.
The solution is where the graphs of the lines intersect. It is at point (-1, -5).
C.
y = -5
y = 3x - 2
-5 = 3x - 2
3x = -3
x = -1
The solution is (-1, -5) which is the same as with the graph.
A simple exponential function to graph is y=2x . Notice that the graph has the x -axis as an asymptote on the left, and increases very fast on the right. Changing the base changes the shape of the graph. Replacing x with −x reflects the graph across the y -axis; replacing y with −y reflects it across the x -axis
Answer: $8.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of a bread = x
Let the price of a tarts = x - 1
If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:
3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5
3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5
3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5
3.5x = 30
x = 30/3.5
x = 8.6
